Chapter 145 145; Death Rates Have Increased?
Ming Xie paled when she heard it was a bomb, "hey hey don't be so frightened, we won't die over a mere bomb, am still here so chill out" Luo Wei comforted her after seeing her body shook.
"Alri..g..h..t, alright Miss." Her voice was shaking, as she tried to calm herself down.
"Hehehe, I didn't know you are afraid of death too Ming Xie." Luo Wei stated jokingly as she approached her bent down looking at the hole keenly, in case of another hidden mechanism pops out.
" Of course I am, why wouldn't I? I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't given birth to cute babies too. " Ming Xie retorted back after calming.
" Hehe... Don't worry this is small stuff here." Luo Wei said after finding the the wire she needed to cut, she got her knife tied around her thigh and cut it off.
"There..... Now you can raise your leg and move aside." Luo Wei said as she stood up.
Ming Xie stepped aside as Luo Wei used her magic power to seal the bomb off, not to explode in case she missed the important wire.
"Let's go to that dark side of the corner." Luo Wei suggested as they moved faster, but since they were wearing the guards uniform, they weren't noticed as Intruders.
One of the guards approached them, " what are you lazing around here, go to unit three as it needs people." One of the men yelled at them.
" Yes....." With their heads lowered, they dashed to a place where there were less guards and they won't be easily noticed.
"Where do we go from here? If we act careless we might be easily noticed. " Ming Xie inquired worriedly.
" Let's go that further end, then we can navigate from there. " Luo Wei suggested as they looked for a black spot where the CCTV cameras weren't installed.
Finding a corner, she closed her eyes to listen to the surrounding areas.
She listened keenly at a wider range, "Ming Xie I heard babies crying, alot of babies, how come?" Luo Wei wondered.
"Miss, why would you hear alot of babies crying? This doesn't seem like a hospital right?" Ming Xie didn't want to imagine the impossibilities.
"Let's find a safe spot, we study the entire place then we can know what our escape routes will be. " Luo Wei said as they moved carefully.
In the inn after having had enough rest, Lin Wei stood up and carried Jun Wu Xue.
"Xie, let's go. Older brother am off see you again soon." She said as she walked out of the inn.
"You still haven't told your older brother where you are going, do you want me to stop you. " Bai Chang's devilish voice was heard, she halted in her steps but didn't turn to face him.
"You don't need to question me or stop me, you will finally know where I am going, without even i telling you, so what need is there for me to answer your question. " She snorted coldly and walked away, she knew he will know or he already knows.
She untied the horse as she placed Jun Wu Xue onto the horse, she climbed on to the horse and stretched her arm out to help Xie get onto the horse.
"Hey you haven't paid." The innkeeper felt a tight pinch after seeing her leave without paying, she had also scared all his customers away, some of the customers had eaten and didn't pay, he had made losses today.
"Innkeeper, are you sure it's me you are asking money from? Or you are confused" She questioned him as her eyes narrowed at him.
" Hehe... No.. I guess I'm confused." The innkeeper flinched nervously seeing those eyes narrowing at him, it was better being alive than death.
" Good." "Giddy up!" She pulled the reigns and the horse shot forward as she rode it faster and steady.
"Miss... We forgot to inquire if they have a map of the Ming Kingdom." Xie reminded her.
" Those people don't seem to have anything, so we will ask in the inns we will come across ahead of us. " Lin Wei replied as she rode the horse.
Xie, nodded her head, Bai Chang stared at the already vanished horse, intrigued, using his sword he vanished into the sky.
The innkeeper turned around to face him to only find he was the only one left there.
"He also vanished! What kind of customers are these? They frighten my customers away and they also don't pay! What a loss! " The innkeeper grumbled as he walked back inside.
Ming Xie and Luo Wei had found a store and hid themselves inside, looking around they could smell the different kinds of herbs that were preserved inside there.
"Could this be the herbs and medicines they are using?" Ming Xie whispered as they checked around.
" No.... They aren't poisonous from that smell, they smell just like any other normal herbs." Luo Wei frowned.
" This is a well thought out scheme." Ming Xie was infuriated.
" Yes... It could have began ages ago, I think we need to figure out the top family in Country X and in our country." Luo Wei said.
" Shhhh..." Ming Xie motioned as they hid inside a dark corner after hearing steps of incoming people.
"Boss.... We need that drug, it's already depleted and you know it's the key essence." One of the men asked.
"That one we need to wait for the Young Master to come over and make the requests, I don't have it and I don't know where to get it from." The leader spoke out as they got inside the store and began rummaging through it, they got the medicine they needed.
"Also Boss; do tell Young Master that the death rates have increased and we don't know the cause of it!" He said as they left the warehouse.
" Alright." He responded as their voices faded away down the corridor.
"Death rates have increased? What could that mean?" Ming Xie was worried.
" Miss what death rates do you think they are talking about? The ones we killed or another group of deaths." Ming Xie couldn't understand the goals behind this cruelty to humanity.
